After talking it over APEX will be moving the entire pricing tier so that it now starts at a $50 discount off of the total retail cost + the free shipping* you are already receiving.
Here is the new pricing tier for the 1 series group buy:

APEX wants to keep people as motivated as possible so please keep spreading the word through every method you can think of because more participants in the group buy means a greater discount for YOU! Great ways of spreading the word are sharing the 1 series group buy page in your own forum signatures and even on your Facebook pages! You are not only helping yourself by spreading the 1 series Group Buy message but you are also helping the other group buy participants; this is a group effort! The next pricing tiers are easily attainable if we all just put in a little effort. Thank you guys!

Remember the group buy is officially open until Friday December 21st. The sooner you guys pay the deeper the discount level will be because everyone will see that there are people actually in the group buy. There is no reward for paying late, everyone will receive the same pricing tier regardless if they pay today or December 21st. This is not an auction and there are no rewards for paying late so jump on in as soon as you can!

We will be changing all of the group buys, including the 1 series, so that wheel pairs are available to buy. So, you can indeed buy 2x 18x9.5" ET58 Anthracite EC-7's at group buy pricing. We do indeed have the 18x9.5" ET22 Anthracite EC-7's in stock as well but there are only 2 sets left so I would advise getting a pair asap so you will not have to wait for a restock. Please keep in mind that when buying a wheel set of 4x wheels and 2x of those wheels are under group buy you would end up paying for only the shipping costs of the wheels that are not on group on buy, unless this is an international order where shipping discounts would apply.

This car is using our 18x9.5" ET35 ARC-8's with a 12mm wheel spacer so an 18x9.5" ET22 EC-7 would be perfect for your car.

We would love to provide you guys with finishes other than Satin Black in our ARC-8 wheel but unfortunately we do not have the stock in the finishes other than Satin Black to fulfill all of the group buy orders. All finishes are available in the EC-7 and AERO-7 wheels.

Remember for those that were interested and on the Feeler list the group buy officially closes on Friday, December 21st. There is no benefit to joining the group buy later but there is a benefit to joining earlier since more people will see that you have joined.

Remember tomorrow, December 21st @ 11:59PM PST, is the very last day to join the group buy! We have people from the feeler list who still have not paid yet! The more participants we have in this group buy, the lower the price will be for everybody!

Today is the last day to get in this group buy! Remember to sign up by 11:59 PM PST for $50 off your total retail cost and either free shipping in the continental U.S. 48 or discounted international shipping. Please email us directly for international orders.

Thank you for everybody that have participated in the group buy this time! Even though we did not hit the amount of wheels that was anticipated by the feeler, APEX has decided to keep the discount tier that we previously reached with the interest in spirit of the holidays! That means that you will be receiving $50 off with free shipping* for the 1-series wheels!

Official Paid List

The staff at APEX would like to wish everyone happy holidays, and a happy new year!

What kind of suspension do you guys would suggest for an EC-7? Like to make the car low but not rubbing.

We prefer coilovers that utilize a linear 6" race spring on the front struts. TC Kline and Ground Control both make kits that utilize this type of spring. This usually guarantees that you will not have inner rubbing unless you are using a wider than normal 235/40/18 front tire like an extreme performance summer tire or an R Compound tire. If you are using street tires in 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 you should not experience rubbing with both our ARC-8 and EC-7 1 Series specific wheels.

Got the wheels...wrapped em in Michelin PSS 225s and 255s. Look great and no rubbing issues (will probably go wider with my next set of tires). Fronts ended up being 13#s lighter a piece and almost an inch wider. Rears were 10#s lighter and 2 inches wider than my stock RFT 17" POS'.

Great to hear Steve! If you get a chance please post pictures of the car!

So ill ask again, when will you get anything besides satin black in? Or should I say, how do I order anything but satin black if you actually have them like you say you do.

I think this group buy was affected by having only 1 color option. Just my .02

Currently we have Satin Black and Hyper Silver 1 series ARC-8's in stock and the website will be updated ASAP to reflect that. We have individual wheels in stock in other finishes but not enough to make a full wheel set for you which is also why the other finishes were not available for the group buy. We did our best to offer the 1 series community an APEX wheel group buy with all of the possible ARC-8, EC-7, and AERO-7 wheel options at that time. Hyper Silver ARC-8's were not included in the group buy because even though we currently have stock in them there is not enough to fulfill all of the group buy orders we would have received. More Anthracite finish 1-series offset ARC-8's will be coming in the next shipment mid February. Feel free to PM or email me with any questions you may have or if you would like to set up an international order.
